newfy 695 Report post Posted February 7, 2010 Most of our top guys are "Skill guys". The players on this team that would fight barely play. If you're Abby and you're playing five minutes a game in the NHL why would you want to spend it sitting in the penalty box? Unless Babcock tells him to fight, hes not going to do it. Thats because we dont have anyone who is good enough for top 6 minutes that can fight. Abdelkader is a rare exception. He is a guy with top 6 talent and the ability to throw fists. Its not like our skill guys would get benched for fighting its just that they cant do it. Shanny, Lapointe and Mac are all guys who could play and fight, we havent had a player cut from the same cloth as them for a long time though and Ab is the closest thing we've had in a while.
